Hiring a certified kitchen and bath designer (CKBD) is important for several reasons:
- Professional Endorsement: CKBD certification, offered by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), serves as an endorsement of a designer's professional experience and design expertise. This ensures that they have the necessary qualifications and skills to deliver high-quality results for your kitchen and bathroom projects.
- Specialization: CKBDs specialize in the design, planning, and execution of residential kitchens and bathrooms. They possess advanced knowledge of technical and personal communication skills required to succeed as design specialists. This means they understand the unique challenges and requirements of these specific spaces and can provide tailored solutions accordingly.
- Industry Standards: Certified designers are required to adhere to industry standards and best practices, ensuring that your project meets all relevant building codes, safety regulations, and design guidelines. This helps to avoid potential issues and costly corrections down the road.
- Continued Education: To maintain their certification, CKBDs must continue their professional development through ongoing education and training. This ensures that they remain up-to-date on the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in kitchen and bath design.
- Better ROI: Hiring a certified designer can ultimately result in a better return on investment for your project. A well-designed and functional kitchen or bathroom can increase the value of your home, improve your quality of life, and make your spaces more enjoyable and efficient to use.
Overall, hiring a certified kitchen and bath designer ensures that you receive professional, specialized, and up-to-date expertise for your renovation projects, which can ultimately lead to a more successful and satisfying outcome. You may not always know the right questions to ask, but when you hire a designer that has been certified by the National Kitchen and Bath Association, you can be sure that all the angles have been covered.
During the initial consultation, we will delve into the specifics of your project, discussing your vision and preferences. Feel free to share any inspiration images to help us better understand your desired outcome. This meeting can be conducted virtually via Zoom or in person at your home, depending on your preference.
During this appointment, we will explore the various service levels that best suit your project requirements. If the meeting takes place in your home, we may also take measurements at this time.
Once you feel confident that I am the right fit for your project and family, we will sign an agreement, and I will begin crafting an initial design using state-of-the-art 3D design software. We will then schedule a follow-up meeting, either in-person or virtually, to review the initial design. If desired, minor adjustments can be made during this meeting, or we can schedule an additional session for more significant changes.
After finalizing the design and making any necessary selections, you will receive a comprehensive design packet for your contractor, enabling them to take any final measurements. Finally, we will order the cabinets and any other chosen items, setting the stage for your dream project to come to life.
